Blown out highlights and heavy grain are intentional, though it may not be to everyone's liking.

Not really sure where I am going with this one, but this is an early frame in a video for snake simuation. Video will be up on Vimeo shortly.

Usually I don't show my process steps.. I don't know what came up to me to do so...

FYI, it takes much of my time to find the correct theme of a picture.. This one spacifically took 3 days to finish!

For those of you who really know me, I am not huge on post processing. I am getting use to LightRoom for 2 reasons. My husband wants to buy it for us, but wont for himself only. Therefore he is really encouraging me to fall in love with it! Reason number 2, I have to do SOME, however limited, post work, to add sharpening and all for the RAW files. Pretty much the basics. On a rare occasion, the image looks worse then the original and I just keep the as is image. But in cases like this, I was able to save the other wise unsaveable! What do I mean? The foreground was pretty much a silhouette. And the image before this, was kind of pinked out due to the Cokin filter. So, with out the filter, I get no foreground and with the grad filter, its all pink! For this image, I played around with the in post processing graduated filter! You can pretty much tell where I did the separation, because of the grouping of trees, but I still think it worked out none the less. I feel like the dark grouping of trees added to the misty rise of the sun.

I am not sure this is to peoples liking, but I like it and thats what matters, right? :) What I love the most is the golden rays that are streaming through the foreground. This one, unlike yesterdays similar image, is so golden! And after all, a sunrise should be golden! And that is why I am happy with this, perhaps over processed, processed image. I sure do hope you enjoy!

For me,film slitter is a very important tool for a subminiature camera user especially for the Minox 8x11 format.Ofcourse we still can buy the Minopan 100 from some place or from eBay now.But for the place outside from Europe or the States, the Minox user like me got no choice and have to find our way to continue the hobby.Beside this, it is so wonderful if you could choose to shooting any film you like on the Minox spycam.

Since I've been hooked up by the Minox 8x11,I used to collect all data of the custom film slitters.Also I am trying to get every film slitter when I found that is new to me.And I've got a chance this year from Minoxlx,who offering me his experience and the reference data.So I am trying to produce a film slitter myself this time.I am not saying the others are not good enough casue every custom film slitter got it's own advantages.

So conclusion the slitters to me,a nice film slitter is very important specially for the beginner like me.I am still remember the first time I want to give up this hobby is when I saw my work after my first film slitting and developing:-)

Normally,a nice film slitter should be dust free,accurate cutting,high stability,high portability,easy to processing,easy to dismantle and with a good price. To me, I just added one more condition on it which is also preferring a fine looking item.And this is also another main reason for me to working for this full metal slitter.

Finally the prototype cost me a lot but I learned a lot also from the producing and testing.I will keep on upgrading it.

Again,special thanks Minoxlx's encouraged, support of the experience and the first order of my first upgrade version film slitter.which will be in my hand this weekend.

Thanks for the notice.

1. Image out of camera, 1/4 sec at f/1.8, WB 2700K.

2. White balance adjusted in UFRaw (Linux).

3. Red and Blue channels inverted in CS5 (channel mixer).

Image taken with unmodified Nikon D300s using Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens and Hoya R72 IR filter. In camera WB was 2700K, exp. 1/4 sec at f/1.8... ISO 800 Exp. Bias +5.

Image was moved to Linux for White balance and tint adjustment in UFRaw with GIMP. This is roughly the equivalent of Halogen correction.

Then moved to W7 for CS5 channel mixer, where red and blue channels were swapped for a more natural look. In Channel mixer, red channel, change red +100 to -100, green from 0 to +100 and blue from 0 to +100. Blue channel, change red from 0 to +100, green from 0 to +100, and blue from +100 to -100.

These are the settings I used to process this image. Adobe Lightroom 4.0.

Strokes Variations

I've made these charts because I couldn't find any reliable information on how to expose a film for this "reverse xpro". From these results, I like something between -1 and 0 best - it may however be different with other films.

I've never really thought about where the word Posy comes from...it's kind of a strange word for flower. This is nothing special...another from the archives. Have a great Sunday. HSS!

Explored--thanks!

Week #2 Square and Processing

Examples of different processing results. Depending on your experience, these can be done manually or with reset actions in image processing software (I use Photoshop).

(top left) Cross processing uses layers, contrast and variations in color balance to give a "yellowish green" hue to the image. You can do it manually, but Photoshop has an action (macro) that is simple and quick. I've used it on anything from landscapes to portraits in the past.

(bottom left) High Dynamic Range was processed using Photomatrix, a popular and proven application available online. Some cameras have in-built HDR options. Again, it can be used on a wide range of images and the intensity can be dialed up or down. Some HDR images are quite stunning but processing can also be over cooked (an HDR term!). Flickr is full with different results and it's up to personal taste what you prefer.

(top right) Black and white/Mono can be achieved by using fast and easy single click "GreyScale" or you can manipulate the histogram to isolate color bands and keep tighter control over the result. Curves can be also applied to control contrast.

(bottom right) Orton processing is a controlled blurring or softening of the image achieved by combining 3 layers in Photoshop. Again, it comes to personal taste to apply Orton to images. It can be applied over the whole image or used to soften different areas.

Enjoy...and good luck with your processing.
